EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF WILFUL DAMAGE AT THE TURKISH BATHS.—Mr. Edward Frampton, solicitor, of John-street, Bedford-row, was charged before Knox with wilfully breaking a pane of glass, of the value of 165., the property of Mr Roger Evans, of the Turkish Baths, Gulden-square. Wm. Holmes, an attendant at the baths, said that on the previous evening, about a quarter to 9 o'clock, the defend - ant came in to have a bath. After he (witness) had been in the bath room attending upon some gentlemen, about a 'quarter of an hour, he heard a loud knock, and ‘then the smash of a window. When he went to where the defend ant was—the hot air room—he found the defendant there and a pane of glass smashed, the value of the glass being 16s. The defendant said he would break 20 panes if they locked him in, but the daor was not locked. On the de fendant leaving the room, he put him through the bath, shampooed him, and "when he was cool" gave him into custody. WM. Childs, the beadle cf Golden-square, said he was sent for to the baths, and on the defendant refusing to pay for the damages, he was given into his (witness's) custody The defendant said that he had been in the hot air room some time and could not open the door. He pushed it and pulled it, but could not get it open. He then shouted as loudly as he could and hammered against the boards. /le then aat down and waited, but feeling faint and sick he thought he must resort to some other mode of gating out of his prison, so he broke the glass to put his hand through and by pulling the door open got out. In answer to Mr Knox, witness said it was a swing door. Mr Knox said the defendant had better pay for the damage, as it was quite certain he did if . . At the same time he must s the defendant had no right to be choked. A witness said the door went easily enough, and that the defendant had been there several times before, and he did not believe he could have been sober or he would not have made such a mistake. Mr Knox said he could not help suspecting that the de fendant had been dining somewhere. The defendant had been taken to the station, and had suffered the indignity of being brought to the court, but he had b rought it all upon hitnse:f. The defendant was then fined Is., and ordered to pay the damage, or, in default, to be committed for fourteen days. The fine and amount of damage were at once paid. WESTMINSTER.

He went there and missed some clothes, and saw the prisoner climbing over the wall. He pursued him, and overtook him at a foot bridge 250 yards off. The prisoner dropped a shirt, which Buckle picked up. The prisoner then jumped over into a yard where there are some stables, and was lost sight of. George Martin, a police-constable, No. 411 K, saw the prisoner running along, and carrying a bundle. The prisoner was found in the stables where he had concealed himself. He only had one shoe en, and he was asked if he had lost it in the yard, to which he replied "No, I lost it running along." At 2 o'clock in the morn ing Martin found the bundle which the prisoner was carry ing in the pursuit. It Contained a blue jacket, and three pairs of worsted stockings. He also found the prisoner's shoe close to the bundle. Various persons identified the property taken from the prisoner and thrown away. The prisoner pleaded guilty. The Magistrate said he should convict the prisoner of larceny under the Criminal Justice Act. The prisoner had Committed three mischievous robberies. The property was of small value, but it belonged to people in humble life who could not afford the loss. This system of purloining was very common in the suburbs, and the poor were the suf ferers. lie sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for six calendar months, and kept to hard lal'our.

PUGILISM, (Fron Bel''s Life) JOE COBURN AND JEM MAC,E—THE MATCH MADE. • According to agreement, Jem Mace, accompanied by Mr Abrahams, his backer, met Joe Coburn and Cusack, at our office, on Friday, June 10, for the purpose of settling the knotty points which last week prevented their coming together, and we aro glad to say, although matters L'ol;ed stormy at the commencement, the conference terminated in an amicable and satisfac:ory manner. The question of the amount to be fought for was first ro opened, and Coburn at first offered to fight for £3OO a side even, but finally agreed to go on upon the terms of the original challenge, viz., for £5OO a side. Mace giving him £lOO at the last deposit for expenses. Then rose the point as to a referee. At start ing, Coburn would hear of nothing but choosing that official on the day, while Mace wished to delegate the power of setectien to us, or else to appoint a meeting a week before fighting to select him. By degrees, however, Jem, who seemed to relish his job, gave way, and Coburn making one step to meet him, they agreed to meet either personally or by deputy the day before the fight, and choose a referee. The place of fighting was the last point of dispute, but was got over without difficulty, it being arranged that a meeting should take place 10 days before the battle, when, if no agreement can be made, the choice of place is to be tossed for. The following articles will put our readers in posses- I sion of all the arrangements that have been made:— i ' Articles of a greemen t entere d i nto t hi s 10th day of June, 1864, between James Mace, of London, and Joseph Coburn, of New York. I "The said James Mace agrees to fight the said Joseph Coburn a fair stand-up fight, according to the Rules of the Ring of the Pugilistic Benevolent Association ; the Sght to come off on Tuesday, October 4, above 20 and under 100 miles from Dublin, for £•500 a side. The actual place to be mutually agreed on, or tossed for, on Sept. 22. Coburn to receive from Jem Mace the sum of £lOO for expenses when the whole of the money is to be made good. The referee to be chosen the day before fighting. In case of magisterial or other interference the referee to name the next time and place. The Editor of Bells Life in London to be the final stakeholder. In pursuance of this agreement £5O a side is now staked, and the remainder shall be deposited in sums of £5O a side until the last, which shall be made £lOO a side, at a house to be named by Mace. The next deposit of £5O a side shall be made at Nat Langham's, the Mitre, Uppe St. Martin's-lane, on Tuesday, June 21; and the remainder of the money by six fortnightly instalments of £5O each, on days to be named in time for insertion in Bell's Life of the previous Saturdays. The expenses of the ropes and stakes to be mutually divided. The men to be in the ring between 12 and one o'clock. "In pursuance of this agreement we hereunto attach our names. " JA➢IES MACE. "JOSEPH COBURN." This document being duly signed and witnessed, the men shook hands cordially, and took their departure, Coburn to Manchester, from whence he will doubtless make other starring excursions, and Mace to his usual routine in the sparring world. We shall not fail to keep our readers "IV to the various moves of the belligerents, which will doubtless be watched with eager interest. Coburn informs us he is 29 years of age, having been born July 20, 1835, in tho county Armagh. Mace requests us to state that, although born at Beeston, in Norfolk, he, too, is of Irish descent on his mother's side, so that, although many ten sationists will doubtless talk of the match as " interna tional," it is real.y nothing of the kind, both men being actually subjects of the British Crdwn. Thirty-three Persons Poisoned at Bir- mingham, By order of the London and North Western Railway Company, Messrs. Ludlow and Daniell, auctioneers, New street, were engaged on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes day, in selling by auction, at the Curzon-street goods eta lion, a large quantity of unclaimed goods, accumulated at the station during the past 12 months or more. Amongst these unclaimed goods were three or four sacks of a poison ous nut called jatropha nuts --sweet and pleasant to the taste, but poisonous, They are useful in some branch of in dustry —we believe an oil is extracted from them. The se nuts were allowed to be scattered about the floor, and yes terday some boys employed in the sheeting department ad joining the place in which the sale was carried on obtained access to them and carried quantities of them home in their pockets. These boys ate the nuts themselves, and treated their friends with them, and the consequence was that above 30 persons were taken so ill that they were brought to the General Hospital yesterday, some of them quite in sensible. The scene in the surgery as so many persons suf fering from poison presented themselves at once for treat ment may be more easily imagined than described. Dr Russell, Dr Anderson, and the whole medical staff of the hcspital were engaged in administering emetics and such other remedies as were deemed expedient, Some of the eu - ferers had eaten so freely of the nuts, and were consequently so much affected by them, that furs were entertained for their lives, but vco are glad to be ablo to state that it is now considered they are all out of danger; 20 of those who were most ill were put to bed in the hospital, the others were discharged after the proper remedies had been administered to them and they had received advice for their own guid ance afterwards. When there was time for making leisurely inquiries it was ascertained that the boys and the persons whom they treated had the nuts and were eating them from time to time between 12 and 1 o'clock. Some of them ate only three cr four when they were taken ill, others experi enced no ill effects till they had eaten two handfuls. The first symptom was vomiting, accompanied by some, but not much pain in the region of the stomach. This came on in two hours or more after the nuts had been swallowed; they were eaten between 12 and 2, and it was a quarter after 4 when the patients were brought to the hospital. Purging and depression were the next symptoms. This applies to an adult who had eaten only four. The boys who ate large quantities became drowsy in half an hour afterwarde;•their pupils were dilated, they became quite pale, and they suf fered from great depression. The total number treated at the hospital up to last night was 33. Several of the patients were then still in a critical condition, but it was hoped that they would recover during the night.—Birminglecon Gazette. Serious Accident on the Midland Railway. A serious accident, by which about 30 persons were in. jured, occurred on the Midland Railway, at the Lawley street station, Birmingham, at about half-past 9 o'clock yestei day morning, The space in front of the Lawley-street station is an intricate mass of shunting ground, to which the Derby (Midland), the Worcester and Gloucester, or West Midland, the Grand Junction (going to Aston and Walsal;), and the London and North-Western lines all con verge. All the trains stop at the platform at that station, that the tickets of the passengers may be collected there. Yesterday morning a passengertrain was despatched as usual from Derby at 7 o'clock. It was due at Lawley-street at 20 minutes after 9 o'clock, and it arrived in a few minutes after that hour. At the same time a Derby goods train was mak ing its way over the shunting ground to leave its waggons in the London and North- Western goods station x at Curzon. street. The goods train, instead of being sent in its right direction, was accidentally shunted on to the Derby line just as the passenger train came up. The engine of the passen gtr train struck the tender of the goods train, but not very violently, as neither of the trains was going at a great speed. The shock to the passenger train, however, was so great that the passengers were thrown from their seats in the car riages, and more than 30 of them were more or less hurt, many of them severely, but none of them dangerously. A large number of business and professional men, coming from their suburban or country houses to Birmingham for the day, were in the train. Amongst them was Mr Standbridge, the town clerk, who received a severe shock, and several contusions about the head and face. Other gentlemen, about 30 in number, had similar injuries inflicted on them. Fortunately there was no fatal accident. Neither the engine nor the carriages were at all seriously injured. The poin' swan, through whose mistake the acci dent occurred, has an excellent character as a steady, trust worthy, and experienced man. His name is Vines. Ho has been employed as pointsman in his present position for seven years. What caused him to make the blunder is not very clearly ascertainable. It is suggested that he was cleaning the machinery, and was taken by surprise by the trains coming np, FIRE IN DRURY-LANE.—Last night a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Robert Smee, a cabinetmaker and japanner, No. 5, Parker-street, Drury lane. Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock in trade the flames extended with more than usual rapidity, and in less than half an hour the whole of the six fbore presented one tremendous sheet of flame. The Royal Society's fire-escapes, with the engines of the parish and several of the London Erigade, with two of Shand and Mason's land steamers from Chandos-street and Watling street, promptly attended, and a bountiful supply o water having been procured, the whole of the engines were set to work. Owing to the indefatigable exertions of the firemen, and the judicious direc tions given, the fire was entirely extinguished by midnight; but, judging from external appearances, Mr. Smee's property must be entirely or nearly destroyed. Several of the adjoining houses are also severely damaged by water, &c. The origin of the fire is unknown. I'dr. Smee informed the reporter that two of his men svenD at work in the factory at the time, and that they knew nothing of the disaster until one of the workshops was in flames. Fortunately the principal sufferer was insured in the Phoenix Firo Office. GENERAL GARIBALDI.---The Mayor of South ampton (Mr G. S.

Lord Westbury possesses the great virtue, cha racteristic of minds conscious of their own capacities of candour to confess a misteke and a willingness to learn what may be said against its oven views, and willingness to he convinced. Creditably einbitiout to achieve a reputation es a Law Reformer s he has laboured zealously to link his name with changes for which much was premised, but which here proved in practice to be unproductive of the antici• 'Jilted advantages, while they have wrought certain mischiefs. The reform of the Bankruptcy Law is found to be no reform at all ; on the contrary, the law is in a state far worse now than when it was sought to be improved. The Transfer of Land Act as yet has wrought but a fraction of the ser vices that were prophesied of it. Lord Westbury frankly confesses the failure of the Bankruptcy Law Amendment Act, and but for the appoint ment of the select committee of the House of Commons, would doubtless have tried to remedy some of its most patent defects. It will be seen by an extract from the report of an interview with a deputation, which appears in another column, that he is willing to deal with this latest law reform in the same liberal spi r it o f concession to the objec tions of the trading community, echoing th ose wh i ch had been previously published by the lawyers. Himself proposes to abandon the project for confis cating debts under £2O if not sued for within one year. He has adopted that which we ventured to suggest as the fair compromise between the existing , inconvenience of six years and the threatened ruin of the tradesman by reducing the term to a twelve month. Having fixed upon three years, we trust that he will not confine its operation to debts under .£2O, bat extend it to all simple contract debts. Three years is quite long enough for the voluntary keeping alive of a claim, If the creditor cannot pay in that tiime, he is not likely to pay at all ; and even if it were not so, there is no reason why the whole community should be compelled to keep their bills and receipts and be subjected to possible harass, for the sake of a few creditors who choose to give ex orbitant credit. On the other objectionable provi sions of the bill Lord Westbury expressed himself with equal candour. He desired to receive the sug gestions of the traders ; he was by no means wedded to his particular plan ; he was willing to make any alterations that would accomplish the object. This is as satisfactory to the public and the profession as it is creditable to the sound judgment of Lord West bury. • The bill contains much that is to be com mended and which receives universal approval. Not the least meritorious is the provision which so inge niously discourages those speculative actions so often denounced by theLato Times, by requirirg the plain tiff in the Superior Courts to give security for costs. The proposed equity jurisdiction is likewise worthy of all praise. Possibly it might be more prudent to exclude some of the suggested jurisdictions at first, until the capacity of the County Courts to deal with them satisfactorily shall be proved by experience, and the judges and Officers shall have mastered the new law they will be called upon to administer; hut the outline of the scheme is ex cellent. If to these be added a limitation of imprisonment to once for the same debt, and the reduction of the Statute of Limitations to three years for all simple contract debts, subject of course to the same exceptions as at present recognised, Lord Westbury will have won the reputa tion not merely of desiring and designing law reforms, but of accomplishing them. We despair of receiving a good bankruptcy law from his hands, for he will continue, we fear, to base it upon a false foundation, and unless there is a solid base there can be no firm structure. No law of bankruptcy can be successful that does not take for the principle of its entire construction that not to pay a debt is prima facie a wrong, for which some penalty is due, acid which therefore throws upon the insolvent the burden of proof that he has become such by reason of unavoidable misfortune, and not through any fault of his own. In all cases he should be bound to prove substantively, first, that when he contracted the debts from which he seeks relief he had just grounds for believing that he should be enabled to pay them ; and, secondly, he should be required to prove the particular mis fortunes that afterwards prevented him from doing as he had then reasonably expected to be able to do. A debt contracted without such reasonable ex pectations of payment is only another and safer form of robbery, and should be punished accordingly. A debt honestly incurred, but of which the debtor has deprived himself of the means of pay ment by some subsequent folly, shculd be punished in proportion to the character of that folly. Only the debtor whose debts were fairly incurred, but of which unavoidable misfortune has prevented the payment, is entitled to pity, to forgivenese, and to favour. On these principles it would be easy to construct a gond law of bankruptcy ; on no other covld a law be framed that will not be mischievov: d socially, and comm erc i a ll y . —morally, The World's highway. " A Templar," in. a letter to the Times, writes : Allow me to ce,',l your attention to the disgusting state of Fleet-street and theoStrand about 1 a.m. Some virtuous person—who no doubt is also beau tiful, inasmuch as he is always in bed by 10 o'clock, and so never misses his beauty-sleep —will say, " What business have you in Fleet-street and the Strand at 1 a.m. ?" Well, that is just what I have. Business leads me along Fleet.street and the Strand six nights out of the seven at hours varying from 1 to 3 a.m., and I must say I wish many of these " virtuous and beautiful" people were compelled sometimes to take the same walk. They would then see troops of women of the vilest and lowest class, who persist in thrusting their foul companionship on every passer-by. If their advances are repelled, they cover the unlucky object of their attention with the filthiest abuse. • e " To this very P " Well," cries some rate payer, " where are the police . natural question, Echo, in the Strand, at least, at 1 a.m., generally answers " Where ?" Take my own case last night, for instance ; at a quarter past 1 I was accosted by one of these women just on the west side of Temple-bar. I told her to go about her business, and not to speak to people Who did not wish to speak to her. She then follossed me along the Strand, abusing and reviling me in every wa y. Between Temple bar and the Savoy I counted 28 women of her order, all plying the same disgusting trade, but not a single policeman. At the corner of Savoy-street I met a constable, whom I requested to go back with me that I might introduce him to my persecutor. His number was F 38, and a very civil, Weil-spoken young fellow, I am bound to say, he wa s . H e h as my best wishes that he may Soon be an inspector. We speedily found the woman, who had halted at the corner of Welling ton-street--that being, I presume, the end of her " walk. ' Halin pointed her out to F 38, I left them, and I sincerely hope that I may not have to give her into custody again. Now, I n a v e no wish to speak ill of the police, who in the Strand at night are far too few to cope with this evil, and whom I have, with few exceptions, found extremely well behaved ; nor do I desire to be too hard on this unfortunate class of women; but I am sure that London streets at night have lately become much worse in the nuisance to which I refer than they used to be, and I think the authorities might do more to protect those who are compelled to pass through grea t tb o:oug hf e res than is now the case. . ACCIDENT TO VISCOUNT CLlFDEN.—Vesterday afternoon, shortly after 5 o'clock, Viscount Ciifden was leaving his residence at Roehampton in his brougham and pair, when one of the horses shied, which alarmed the other horse, and both started off ar an uncontrollable pace. Lord Clifden, seeing the danger, opened the door of the carriage, and had the presence of mind to jump Out. The driver lost all command over the horses, and they pursued their course until they came to a dyke on Winableflon common, where the brougham was upset, the coachman was thrown off, and unfortunately his left leg was broken. One of the high-spirited horses also broke its leg, and had to be shot. Lord Clifden, whose health i s far irom satis factory, showed much kindness and presence of mind to the injured coachman, to whom no blame could be imputed. SECOND EDITION.

A Charming Tribute to Ernest's Genius, (Front the Queen.) Ernest, the violinist, is universally liked and respected as a man, and honoured everywhere as a first rate professor. His reputation is European, and he was the first player who broke down the prestige of Paganini ; for it was a long time after the Genoese fiddler had disappeared from public life that anything like faith could be at tached to his successors. In 1837, Ernest was playing at a concert in Toulouse, and there happened by mere chance to be present a roving "special correspondent," on his way to Spain, who was struck with the extraordinary execu tion of the young German virtuoso, and who immediately wrote off his impression s to his London morning paper, and for the first time here the name of Ernst became known When he arrived in this country there was full confirmation of the enthusiastic eulogiu m of the correspondent, and it required but a short stay for Ernst to take his stand as one of the leading violinists of any age. Indeed, in one speci ality, Ernsthas been unapproachable—in poetry and passion he has never been excelled; in an adagio Ernst seemed always inspired ; he extracted such tones from his vio lin as rendered it like Niobe, all tears, and it may be therefore readily assumed that his organisation was of the most sensitive kind, that his sensibility was acute, and his susceptibility, like that of all truly superior artists, was great. With such a nature and tempera ment, his playing was uncertain, or, as the French would say, journaller. But like Viardot, if in the right cue he was sublime. We remember well on one remarkable occa sion—it was a joint bentfit concert he had with Moscheles, at the Ila.nov,r-square Rooms—something occurred to dis turb the nervous system of Ernst, and he fell on the ground in the artists' room in a kind of epileptic fit. He could not play, of course. The concert was financially productive, but such was the honourable sensitiveness of Ernst that he handed over his share of profits, amounting to nearly .-E9O, to the Royal S)ciety of Musicians. For soire years be has now been a severe sufferer, and ho has wandered about from country to country seeking a restoration of his shattered health, Ih his rambles abroad he meets with Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, who, appreciating the intellectual quali ties of the invalid artist, with kindred sympathies invited him to his country seat, and has been indefatigable in secur ing for Ernst the best medical advice of this country. The progress to a cure has been slow, but there is yet hope as to a restoration. Did the immense auditory in the St. James's Hall, on the 6th, at the 152 d of the Monday Popu lar Concerts, notice the dark screen, looking to the left of the orchestra? Were they aware that whilst they were listening with breathless attention to the impassioned strains of the "Elegie" of Ernst, as poured forth by Jetts chim—that whilst the soul of the composer was in their heart of hearts—the body of the man was extended on a couch behind that sombre screen, in suffering drinking in the sounds of his own inspiration, and gasping perhaps with agony at the notion that Le was there helpless and useless; but, thank Heaven, not alone, for there were the friends of his ycuth around him. There was, above all, a devoted wife near him, and there was the elite of distin guished professors, native and foreign, listening with in tense interest to his exquisite creations.

A TIGER TURNING TAIL !—Just as daylight:was failing us, and while we were still a couple of miles from camp, I observed a troop of monkeys crowded together on a tree which overhung a clump of long grass, bounding from branch to branch in a state of great agitation, scream ing, chattering, and making hideous grimaces, as if half enraged and half terrified at the sight of some object be neath them. " What is the matter with these monkeys?" I inquired of my guide in llindostanee. . 6 It is a tiger probably," he replied, puffing away at his cheroot with the most perfect coolness, and striding along as if it were all a matter of course. " The devil it is I" said I, thunderstruck at th e coo l ness o f the young rascal— for the path we were pursuing being bounded on each side by impenetrable jungle, o bli ge d us to pass within a l ew yards of the haunt e d thi c k e t—and cocki ng both barr e l s o f my rifle, I stepped out at my best pace to escape from th e dangerous neighbourhood as quickly as possible. W e h a d just passed the thicket, and were making a short turn round the end of it; when, to m y utter dismay, I found myse lf face to face, and within twenty yards, of a royal tiger, busily engaged in tearing up the carcass of a wild hog he almost stood on end, as the brut e had just killed. My hair raised his enormous head, smeared with blood, and glared upon us w i th hi s malignant gre en eyes. 'Aloliadecu cheroot, and remained mai dropped his mikes as a statue, with his keen eye steadily fixed upon that of the tiger. I knew enough of the nature of the animal to be aware that it was more dangerous to retreat than to stand f as t ; but thinking that a charge was now inevitable, I was determined to have "the first word of flyting," as we say in Scotland, and was about to raise my riff when lloh.adeen, without removing his gaz'..! front the tiger, laid hie hand upon my arm, and kept it down with a firm grasp. The tiger growled and showei his teeth, but unable to with stand the fasenation of the human eye, ho gradually with drew the paw, which jealously clutched his prey, crouched together, as if applied by the steady gaze of the savage, turned slowly round, and uttering a sulky growl, slunk away into the long grass. No sooner was his back turned, then hlehadeen, clappingthis hands to his mouth, sent forth that peculiar wild yell, which app oars to strike terror to the heart of the most savage animal, and we iestantly heard the stealthy tread of the tiger change to a bounding gallop, as he fled in diimay front that unearthly cry. "We have made him eat dirt," remarked the young savage, coolly picking up his cheroot, replacing- it in the corner of his mouth, and walking off as if nothing remark able had happened. We now set off towards camp at a round trot, for the short twilight of the tropics was fedi: tg rapidly, and my guide, although he &acted to despi so tigers by daylight, was perfectly aware they were not to be trifled with after nightfall. We reached the tents without further venture ; and I confess I was not a little glad when we came in sight of our cheetlul camp firese—Col, Camp bell's Indian hut nal.
